Chapter 174: Chapter 174. A Mysterious Man
While crushing Jor seven generations for not making the wind barrier earlier, Myne sneaked a glance at the landscape flowing by him at a staggering speed, he could see flames rising from the front. Currently, they just crossed the Divine Spirit Forest and entered into the neighbouring kingdom of the Augusta Kingdom.
Hm? I wonder what is going on there, why is an outrageously large area burning?? Is there a war going on or something? Myne thought with a frown and looked closely at the burning place with his Sight Enhancement skill, otherwise with their current height without using the skill he could only see dots moving on the ground.
What the f*ck! I don't know which country this is, but the invasion of such a large number of monsters doesn't look natural! Shit, the entire city gets destroyed by monsters, as far as I can see there are only dead bodies.
Myne stared at the bloody sense in front of him silently, although he normally didn't care about the life and death of strangers, but seeing the wealth of an entire city burning in front of himself by some mindless monsters, Myne couldn't not but get angry.
"Hm? What's wrong? You look angry?" Jor noticing Myne's emotion, called out to him confusedly.
"What going on below there? Why those monsters are attacking that city?" Myne asked after hearing Jor's voice while trying to calm down himself.
"Ohh that, seems like The Kingdom of Demons started a war again, good grief, this will going to bring me a lot of trouble," Jor said dissatisfied and explained Myne's reason behind the war.
Recently, a new king of the Kingdom of Demons came into existence. This king brutally killed the late king who was more politically moderate, and announced that he will dominate the other races and become the supreme king of the entire world.
With that proclamation as the origin, they are launching large-scale acts of aggression with the demon race against the kingdoms which neighbour the Kingdom of Demons. It seems that they have been cornered until right before the whole kingdom has been annihilated.
"Since it's an event among you mortal races, and has nothing to do with the duties assigned to us Divine Beasts by God, we can't intervene in it even if all the people die in front of us, unless they are protected or have a close relationship with us, no Divine Beast would come forward to enter in this muddy water," Jor said emotionlessly, clearly after living unknown amount of years Jor have seen so many deaths that now he becomes indifferent to this kind of sense, anyway every once in a century a lunatic come forward and start a war because of some silly reason while thinking himself God, and now get used to it.
"Sigh, what a waste of resources, Instead of making their own Kingdom beautiful, some fool wanted to rule the entire world even after knowing that there are hundreds of powerful beings living in the world who if become angry then easily make them disappear within some hours. This world really doesn't lack fools," Myne mumbled while shaking his head.
Probably because Jor heard Myne's mutterings, he also nodded his head in approval and once again faced the "Prison Labyrinth" and accelerated.
At that moment Myne also lost interest in continuously seeing black smoke from above and was about to look for somewhere else to watch the beauty of nature when he discovered an interesting thing.
W, What the f*ck that guy doing there? Is he trying to sacrifice himself to those monsters as reserve food for their good work? Or has he also joined the monster camp and is helping them attack his race?
Myne thought confusedly while watching a 30-year-old man wearing full-body black clothes with a red cape standing in the middle of thousands of monsters, who was making various movements as if commanding those monsters who had question marks all over their heads, which looked quite comical.
As if feeling Myne stare that man who looked like hume suddenly looked up at the sky.
Then, their eyes met!!! At least this is what Myne thought.
Huh? Can he see me from such a distance? This is interesting, let's see if this is just a coincidence or he can really see me, Myne while looking at the man, show him the middle fingers of his both hands, while moving his lips as if saying, "Don't forget to take those monster's dicks in your ass, your bastard."
Just as Myne said that the man who was smirking while facing him, suddenly his body trembled from excitement maybe because he liked Myne's suggestion very much, or the opposite of it, but before Myne could see his further reaction, Jor increased his speed again, and Myne could no longer see him.
Hehehe, he looks very pissed off, but I have to say he indeed has guts, even after seeing me raiding a dragon he still dares to show off in front of me, either he is very powerful or he has a strong backer to support his arrogance.
Anyway, what this has to do with me, let's see if I can find some rare places with rich resources, Then I'll go out there later with my skill, pick up all of them and make a small fortune, Myne thought excitedly and like a hawk he starts searching his treasure places.
...
"Well, we have arrived, this is the entrance to the "Prison Labyrinth," Jor said calmly and landed in front of a giant wall hundreds of meters tall and thousands of kilometres wide, and behind the wall was a Labyrinth, unimaginably big, surrounded by the fogs all year round.
Even after Jor flew at full speed, it still took almost 3 hours to reach here from Divine Spirit Forest.
Then Jor put down both Myne and Waffle in front of the gigantic entrance gate of Labyrinth which was made of unknown metal, and had weird symbols carved on the entire metal body.
"Myne, although I wanted to join you to deal with those idiots imprisoned here, but just now I received an urgent message from my people saying they need my help to deal with an important matter, so I have to go. Sorry, but It seems like we have to part ways from here on.
You see as a supreme ruler, I am not as lucky as Big Sis, who can enjoy her life as she wants and has to do a lot of things daily," Jor said with a smile, but Myne could see envy in his words, clearly being a ruler is not as easy as it seems from the outside.
"Don't worry Lord Jormungandr, this is not a big deal, since you already gave me permission, I am also not in a hurry to take those dragon's skills, I wanted to do it slowly, anyway now I have a lot of time, and those dragons not going anywhere," Myne said with a smile while watching the gate of Labyrinth as if it is his own property.
Well, if that is the case then I can assure, by the way, you should take care when you take their skills. Although the freedom of those dragons imprisoned here have been snatched from them, and they are very weak because of their bad living condition but they can of course use their skills if they feel danger from you.
They're all ruffians who committed crimes, they don't care about killing, but they are very afraid of dying, so if possible, take their skills secretly to avoid trouble and don't try to underestimate them," Jor advises seriously.
"Understood, I will be careful," Myne said obediently, he really has no desire to go head-on with those ruthless lizards who were impression here for only god know how long, he just wanted to steal their skills, and it's not like they have treasure hidden under their butt that he needs to fight with them for, they are imprisoned here, and all of them are a poor ghost, so why the f*ck he wanted to mess with them?
"How am I going to open this gate?" Myne asked confusedly seeing that Jor was about to take off.
"Ohh, you can't open his gate.
This gate is sealed by very powerful runes which are also the core of this entire labyrinth, as long as this gate is closed no dragon can come out of this prison, but this thing only works for dragons, if you want to enter, just climb the wall and jump down another side, with your skills it shouldn't be a big deal right?" Jor spoke with a giggle, and without waiting for Myne reply he flaps his wings and flew away.
"Why does it feel like Uncle Jor just wanted to get rid of us?" Waffle asked innocently while watching Jor flying further away from them.
"Because he really did that. Anyway, forget about him. Your uncle Jor is not a reliable dragon, it is better to stay away from him," Myne said while shaking his and after looking at the giant gate of Labyrinth for some seconds, Myne opened the portal and travelled back to the Fenrir residence.
As for why he didn't go into the Labyrinth and steal some powerful skills immediately? That is because it would be a big waste. After knowing that there is a hidden section in his appraisal skill called Race Skill, which is locked, how can he go in and steal those dragons' skills?
Then won't after upgrading his Appraisal skill he again have to find those dragons one by one to steal their Racial Skills? And currently, he has more them enough skills to deal with almost all of his problems, and thanks to Jor's generous gift he can afford to waste some time now and have no hurry.
